we are family.

Just saw Junebug, a film about eccentric Southern folks and family dynamics that sometimes cause a cringe. If you haven't seen it, here's a quick synopsis from Sony Pictures: "Six months after her impulsive marriage, Chicago-based art dealer Madeleine has yet to meet her husband's family. A dual-purpose visit to their North Carolina town--Madeleine hopes to sign a contract with an artist living nearby--leads to an uneasy stay with her new in-laws, whose small-town manners are worlds apart from Madeleine's more sophisticated lifestyle." Amy Adams received a best supporting actress nomination for her role, but the entire cast is great. I really loved it.... don't forget a box of tissues.

This movie may hit too close to home for me! Where is it playing? Never heard of it!

We just watched this last night. I really liked it, but was saddened by desperate loneliness throughout the movie. As a newlywed, all three of the marriages in the film were deeply depressing to me. However, Embeth Davidtz's hair was fabulous. I wonder if I can get my hair lady to see the movie...
